Primate swarm algorithm for continuous optimization problems
Amarita Ritthipakdee, Arit Thammano · 2017
In primate life, there are a number of various social behavior, such as communication among members in a group, and food sharing, which are vital to maintain their survival. Similar to those of Swarm Intelligence, such as ant colony optimization, the behavior of primates motivates us to develop an algorithm with the aim of solving continuous problems. Our algorithm is inspired by the behavior of the primate. The communication among them is studied and is also a key part in their food finding strategy. Our proposed algorithm developed upon the behavior is tested with twelve standard benchmark functions and most of which converged to the optimal value.
